Yep, this is the issue with print guides, they don't always have the most up to date information. That and D3 wasn't really "finalized" until beta ended. One of the beautiful things about having day 1 patches is that companies don't have to worry about the "going gold" standard and having everything "Done" in advance

The book is wrong. I know for a fact that as of Beta Patch 16 the SK had just over 2,400 HP in single player. I didn't check a full 4 player game.

Remember that Blizzard increased the health and damage of monsters. I'm not sure if they did it across all difficulties. At any rate, until the game is actually out, the real initial numbers won't be accurate. Even then, there will be balance patches, as already stated by Jay.

I really want inferno to be difficult. But if blizzards definition of difficult is normal monsters one-shotting you? thats not fun imo. Im quite sure I heard in a recent interview that this isn't the case in inferno..

I know these numbers aren't set in stone and very well may have already been altered, but what piqued my interest is the HUGE difference between Hell and Inferno. Yowza! I can't wait!

Edit: BTW, I hope that the first time I set foot in Inferno I get one-shotted. I think we all know it's going to be hard, but I also think we'll all be so keen on checking it out that we'll go in there immediately after finishing Hell just to see "how bad" it is, and I want it to be BAD.

i would choose my own religion and worship my own spirit, but if he ever preached to me i wouldn't want to hear it. i'd drop him, a forgotten god, languishing in shame; and then if i hit stormy seas, i'd have myself to blame.
